Ten Guitar Tone Comparison
How do you like your rock guitar sound?
(Watch the video response for a blind test.)
Can a really cheap guitar sound as good as a much more expensive one?
Listen and decide for yourself! Each guitar appears twice.
The guitars are:
1 GIBSON LES PAUL STUDIO
2 FENDER SQUIER BULLET
3 HAGSTROM DELUXE
4 GIBSON SG ZOOT SUIT
5 JACKSON RR3
6 GIBSON SG 61 REISSUE
7 FENDER BILLY CORGAN
8 EPIPHONE LP STANDARD
9 GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD
10 FENDER AMERICAN DELUXE
The guitar samples and images are taken from Thomann Cyberstore. Presumably the guitars are played with the same amp and settings.

Damn, you can really hear the Smashing Pumpkins in the Billy Corgan Strat
2 and 10????????
Billy Corgan's Fender is my choice, thanks for sharing.
1 and 2

what guitar you guys think is best in this list?
Gibson les paul studio
OK, They all sound F/N good. So the big question. What amp and effect pedals are you using??
To my ears:
1. GIBSON LES PAUL STUDIO: almost sounds like they used the neck pickup, lots of fatness, mids, and a bit muffled highs
2. FENDER SQUIER BULLET: no mids, highs are muffled, thin and ice-picky, lows are present but thin
3. HAGSTROM DELUXE: a bit mid-heavy with no lows or highs
4. GIBSON SB ZOOT SUIT: thick highs and lows but no mids
5. JACKSON RR3: sounds kinda scooped, like good for metal but that's it
6. GIBSON sg 61 REISSUE: quite bright without being too thin
7. FENDER BILLY CORGAN: seems like really hot pickups, kinda bottom heavy and mushy
8. GIBSON LP STANDARD: not too much lows, while highs are thick and not mushy, mids aren't overpowering
9. EPIPHONE LES PAUL STANDARD: a bit brighter than the Gibson LP Standard with the highs a bit harsh in comparison
10. FENDER AMERICAN DELUXE: very bright and thin sounding
I personally like 8, but i gravitate toward rock/classic rock and that tone does that type of music very well.
well dude i m going to buy my first elctric guitar but i am confused between
1 Epiphone Les Paul 100
2 EPIPHONE SLASH "AFD" LES PAUL SPECIAL-II
3 Cort CR 200
Plz Can You recommend one
LP Studio and SG zoot was pretty good
Man fenders don't sound good here. Gibson all the way.
I don't think these are played with the same amp and settings and without touching the sound afterwards. The differences between very similar guitars are way too big. The samples are provided by a guitar store and they are supposed to aid guitar sales and possibly encourage customers to spend a little bit more.
2 and 10 sound awesome
will i dont find any diffrent just the tune ??
Less LP's and more Telecasters!!
1,2,6 and 8 i thought sounded the best. others were fine too.
I'm a Fender guy but I was surprised that I really only like #1. However, aside from the BC Fender Strat, I could tell which ones were cheap. Also, the SG sounded terrible
i love humbuckers gibson styled guitars but damn if that squier bullet didn't sound kinda sweet man lol
3 and 10 sound disappointingly thin.
I was surprised how good '2' sounded
7 is really fat for a Strat
guitar 6 ripped it up man,
number 1
you can feel the wood vibrate when you play. Different grains, shapes, masses and densities will sustain back through the strings each wood kind of EQ'ing different frquency ranges of the harmonics, and overtones through sustain. this will be raw pre pickup signal
you know that wood doesn't affect an electric guitar's "tone" because wood isn't magnetic…right?
get one of each wood dending on your mood, gibson for mahogany, fender for ash, ibanez for basswood, and dont buy new buy aged.
Ibanez is best
Great video thanks man
humbuckers have a muddy tone when it comes to distortion, i have to say the fender squier bullet had the best tone
hagstrom guitars often comes with shitty pickups. It sounds kind of boxy, especially the neck pickup, cause it doesn't have enough low-end in it. Hagstrom wins on the looks, though…
Always picked the deluxe the worst
All those sounds are from Thomann.com. These are not so sure because you can't know what amp and settings are used and if they are modified. Bad vid.
I preferred the Epiphone to the GIbson 😮
Nope, LP Standards sounds like hell.
I though that the SG and the Hagstrom sounded horrible. I hate distorted tests anyway, but I wouldn't give twenty bucks for either of those "SOUNDS" no matter what they were attached to.
Yes you did.
Correct
Ok and now if all those guitar were equipped with same pickups we would barely hear any difference?
Did I just hear Epi LP sound better than Gibson? Wow.
Sg 61, epi lp strd, the best
Ha! I made the blind test (I worship strats) and my 3 favs were the 61 SG (surprising, although I knew it wasn't a strat) the Billy Corgan and the Deluxe strat 🙂
Didn't like the LPs, I actually liked the Epiphone more…. I think every LP fan will kill me know 😀
Cheers!
Haha, same.
no 4 is better.. gibson sg zoot suit.. how much does it will cost?
This video has changed my mind about the rock tones on offer from two guitars ive been having trouble picking from, the Gibson LP standard and the Gibson SG and I thought I was a Les Paul guy but this video's making edge towards the SG, thank you!
it's nice that you wanted to gives us this comparesion but I know how Fender American Deluxe can sound and here it's sound like shit. sorry dude but if that guitar here sounds so awful, same thing goes for Gibson Traditional.
I agree
Nah, it's just over-compressed with a little reverb on it.
GIbson SG
yeaaaaah the LP standard
Ibanez
Billy corgan warm mean and beefy!
FINALLY – A YouTube video that is actually useful. THANK YOU! ===D~
